## Enum SummaryFunctionType

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<SummaryFunctionType>
  - - com.smartgwt.client.types.SummaryFunctionType

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<SummaryFunctionType>

      public enum SummaryFunctionType
      extends java.lang.Enum<SummaryFunctionType>
      implements ValueEnum

  This is used for client-side or server-side summaries
  - Client-side: Function to produce a summary value based on an array of records and a field definition. An example usage is the `listGrid summary row`, where a row is shown at the bottom of the listGrid containing summary information about each column.
  - Server-side: Function used for getting summarized field value using `Server Summaries feature` or when `Including values from multiple records`

  For the client-side SummaryFunctions may be specified in one of 2 ways:

  - as an explicit function or executable `StringMethod`, which will be passed `records` (an array of records) and `field` (the field definition for which the summary is required).
  - as a standard SummaryFunction identifier
  For valid ways to configure SummaryFunctions to use server-side feature see the `Server Summaries overview`, including how to implement custom summary functions, not just builtin ones listed here (look for "Custom Aggregation" section).

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `AVG` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and determining the mean value.
    `CONCAT` Client: iterates through the set of records, producing a string with each value concatenated to the end. Server: implemented as SQL CONCAT function.
    `COUNT` Client: returns a numeric count of the total number of records passed in. Server: acts exactly like SQL COUNT function.
    `FIRST` Client: Currently the same as the min function. Server: implemented as SQL MIN function.
    `MAX` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the maximum value.
    `MIN` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the minimum value.
    `MULTIPLIER` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and multiplying them together.
    `SUM` Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up and summing all numeric values for the specified field.
    `TITLE` Client: returns `field.summaryValueTitle` if specified, otherwise `field.title` Server: not supported.

    - #### SUM

          public static final SummaryFunctionType SUM

      Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up and summing all numeric values for the specified field. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
      Server: acts exactly like SQL SUM function.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "sum".

    - #### AVG

          public static final SummaryFunctionType AVG

      Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and determining the mean value. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
      Server: acts exactly like SQL AVG function.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "avg".

    - #### MAX

          public static final SummaryFunctionType MAX

      Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the maximum value. Handles numeric fields and date/time/datetime type fields only. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric/date field values are encountered.
      Server: acts exactly like SQL MAX function.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "max".

    - #### MIN

          public static final SummaryFunctionType MIN

      Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all values for the specified field and finding the minimum value. Handles numeric fields and date/time/datetime type fields only. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
      Server: acts exactly like SQL MIN function.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "min".

    - #### MULTIPLIER

          public static final SummaryFunctionType MULTIPLIER

      Client: iterates through the set of records, picking up all numeric values for the specified field and multiplying them together. Returns null to indicate invalid summary value if any non numeric field values are encountered.
      Server: not supported.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "multiplier".

    - #### COUNT

          public static final SummaryFunctionType COUNT

      Client: returns a numeric count of the total number of records passed in.
      Server: acts exactly like SQL COUNT function.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "count".

    - #### TITLE

          public static final SummaryFunctionType TITLE

      Client: returns `field.summaryValueTitle` if specified, otherwise `field.title`
      Server: not supported.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "title".

    - #### FIRST

          public static final SummaryFunctionType FIRST

      Client: Currently the same as the min function.
      Server: implemented as SQL MIN function.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "first".

    - #### CONCAT

          public static final SummaryFunctionType CONCAT

      Client: iterates through the set of records, producing a string with each value concatenated to the end.
      Server: implemented as SQL CONCAT function. Supported only by SQLDataSource. Note that it is natively supported only by Oracle DB driver, other drivers perform additional query to fetch values for concatenation.
